But this isn't a novel nor is it presented as fictional.

that the Corporate Man has coopted feminism for resale.

Except it was him making the music, and it's a pretty shitty thing for them to do.

And it's a sad, and unfortunate thing that happens in the EDM scene, but I am entirely not surprised by this news. Anyone keeping track of these guys would have seen the writing on the wall.

I'm pretty sure at this point they'll just be…

And because money is the only thing that matters, you don't need to waste your time having compassion or empathy for others. Be a good capitalist by being a selfish asshat who wants success no matter the cost. We're just encouraged to be successful in our professional lives and failures at being a decent human being.…

So nice to know nothing's really changed in academia.

"After further review, it has been determined that the ball carrier was not facing Mecca at the time of his celebration; therefore the penalty stands."

Money isn't really the root of all evil—just the tool of evil. Doing away with money would accomplish very little—evil people would simply amass goods, or, through force, people.

It's true. At the end of the day, class is the biggest issue. Not that race doesn't intersect because it does hugely!

Race and class are intersectional, not separate. A rich white man is more likely to give poor white men the opportunity to climb the social ladder than a poor person of color.

Oh, so you're saying that NYT's staff demographics match the general population? Show us the stats and then I guess your job will be done here.

And when 50% of the population is women? Why don't you see those women everywhere?

Well articulated and interesting points.

Look, can we not take a minute and appreciate how this young, famous, white, attractive, rich, western, ivy-league educated, female is oppressed?

The unnecessary application of "conservative"—as if it has some bearing on the validity of her claims—bothered me immensely too.

Which is why it bugs me immensely. I'm pretty tired of the "women as perpetual victims" narrative, because that shit is patronizing and counterproductive.

They dropped the charge. My guess is that before seeing the video they charged her with assault to make it easier to prosecute her for it later because it's easier to drop a charge than it is to bring a new one later on.

Look, maybe GPN is a reddit troll and maybe zie is not. But I don't see how that impacts the substance of hir point either way.

I say this with extreme shade intended. J Law's pussy pics do not a sex crime make. It wasn't kiddy porn nor was a snuff film that Gawker media linked to, it was simply a nude photo so please with the histrionics. At least Reddit had the stones to take down the links without completely retooling their policy of…

It's not just Deadspin — the original coverage on Jezebel (by Isha Aran herself, if I recall correctly) had a link to the Imgur album. It wasn't until angry comments showed up that the link was removed.

They will be over here to blame Adrien Chen soon enough. Nothing a mob likes better than a scapegoat.
